Rancho RS5000X 0-3″ Front Lift Shocks for 1963-1991 GMC Suburban 2WD

Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade over factory dampening. Engineered for the 1963-1991 GMC Suburban 2WD and Jeep Wagoneer, these shocks address the common issue of wallowing and body roll in vintage platforms. By using a larger 2-1/4 inch reserve tube, these shocks offer increased oil capacity to maintain a cool operating temperature and consistent performance during daily driving or light trail use.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth initial response to ensure maximum comfort on jagged pavement.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent barrier against oil foaming to ensure fade-free performance during spirited driving.
• Large Reserve Tube: A 2.25-inch body diameter provides increased fluid capacity to ensure lower internal temperatures during heavy-duty cycles.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: Heavy-duty construction provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure a long seal life in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles already equipped with 0 to 3 inches of front lift height to ensure the piston operates within the correct travel range.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design on this model?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for older vehicles; the outer tube acts as a shield, meaning a dent in the body will not affect the movement of the internal piston.

Are the dust boots included?
Yes, this pair includes Rancho’s signature red protective boots to keep debris away from the shock seals.
